Matthew 5:1-5:3

Characteristics of the Kingdom Minded - Part 1

What does a true Kingdom mentality look like? Here in the opening verses of chapter five, we find Jesus presenting the Kingdom with a heavenly perspective on blessedness. He begins his sermon with, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven." When the one true King of heaven teaches about authentic blessedness, we can trust it is true. Arguably, this message is one of the most important ever preached.

  1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
  2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
  3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
